The Fiction of Forever by Brinda Berry Teaser, Interview & Giveaway

The Fiction of Forever by Brinda Berry

Kiley Vanderbilt wasn't just fuel for Gunner's teenage dreams about the curvy pageant queen. She was the one who got away.
Until now.
When Gunner returns to Nashville, his high school fantasy in heels challenges him to accept a spot on the dating reality show Forever. And although she's the show hostess and off-limits, he's going to prove once and for all that she wants more.
But when Kiley--untouchable, jeans-tightening Kiley--proclaims she's unwilling to compromise the show's integrity, he vows to throw a twist of his own into her behind-the-scenes plotting. That's going way, way off Kiley's script.
Giving in to Gunner would torpedo her plans to prove to her manipulating ex-fiancé and her producer daddy that she has more on her shoulders than pancake and hairspray. She must make him play by her rules on camera in spite of his sexy whispers behind the scenes.
Especially when a social media shitstorm brews on the horizon.
Fourteen days of filming. Six camera crews. And a minefield of hidden cameras. This time, no one's getting away.

1.When did you first
realize you wanted to be a writer?

I’ve wanted to be a writer since grade school when I wrote stories
for my younger sister.

2.How long does it take
you to write a book?

It varies. Usually it takes between three and six months.

3.What is your work
schedule like when you're writing?

I have a day job and commute, so my weekday writing time is very
limited. During the week, I mainly do revisions and editing. On the weekends
when I have larger blocks of writing time, I work on first and second drafts.

4.What would you say is
your interesting writing quirk?

I’ve been known to consume an entire jar of atomic fireball
candies while on a writing jag.

5.How do books get
published?

I’m am currently self-published.

6.Where do you get your
information or ideas for your books?

Real life and the news provide me with inspiration everyday. For
The Beauty of Lies, I’d read a story of a man who filed for divorce only to
discover his wife (separated from him) was already married to someone else. For
The Fiction of Forever, I took inspiration from all the reality shows on
television. Although I rarely have time to watch them now, I find the concept of
finding a life partner on a reality show so intriguing.

I could walk down the street right now and see something that
could spur a story idea.

7.What do you like to do
when you're not writing?

When I’m not writing, I love to read or play with my dog. I also
spend too much time on Facebook, but who doesn’t?

8.How many books have you
written? Which is your favorite?

I’ve published eight full-length novels and contributed shorter
works to three anthologies. I’m currently writing my ninth novel. My favorite
book I’ve written is The Fiction of Forever.

9.Do you have any
suggestions to help me become a better writer? If so, what are they?

Seek an online writing community and make sure you have a critique
partner(s). Don’t be afraid to ask people for guidance. Writers are the most
sharing group of people I’ve ever met. Last, learn to take constructive
criticism. I think this one is difficult for a lot of people. Writing is very
personal.

10.What would you like my
readers to know?

One of my favorite things is to meet my readers. I love connecting
with people on social media. I’m on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube.
